The Press: Brighter Alternatives

Across the U.S. last week, newspapers indulged in strange acts of
self-denial. The Salt Lake City Tribune told its advertisers to buy
less space. The Los Angeles Times cut back the number of home delivery
samples it sends to nonsubscribers, while both the Phoenix (Ariz.)
Gazette and Arizona Republic dropped their first editions. The Westerly
(R.I.) Sun ran a survey asking readers which features in the paper they
would prefer to see omitted.
